CHIMERISM BACKGROUND

Pittsburgh, Dec. 18, 1998--Chimerism—the coexistence of donor and
recipient cells—is a major theme of scientific investigation at the University
of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s (UPMC) Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation
Institute. Under the direction of Thomas E. Starzl, M.D., Ph.D., research in
this area has offered significant contributions to the understanding of
transplant immunology. Having laid this groundwork, researchers are
continuing to work toward more scientific and clinical advancement.

"Some theologians restrict Chirotony (Ordination; distinct from cheirothesía/cheiróthesis,
the laying on of hands and vesting that energize a formally valid but simply potential and
not authentic or energized ordination outside of the Church and thus make it authentic
within the Church) to the "priesthood," i.e. to the hieratic orders of deacon, priest (presvýteros,
yeréfs "hiereus"), and bishop (epískopos)."

hloromelanite: Specific Gravity 3.3 - 3.5 Moh hardness: 6.5 - 7 NaAlSi2O6

Chloromelanite is a very dark green, appearing black type of iron-rich Jadeite. I have
noticed some people are claiming this is a "type" of jade as is kJadeite and Nephrite.
Because Chloromelanite is Jadeite, it should be called Jadeite. However, just as brown
chalcedony is given the name sard (sometimes corneilian) and red chalcedony the name
carnelian, a varietal name is how Chloromelanite should be viewed.
